Each +30 Min/d of Physical Activity Reduce HbA1c by 11%, Protein + CHO Maintain Bone Mass, Overlooked Benefits of BFR, New Marker of Overtraining - Jan '17 Science Update

Written by | published on

  This is what the Jan '17 Science Update has to offer? -11% HbA1c reduction per 30 minutes activity, new benefits of blood flow restricted tr., the bone protective effect of immediate post-workout whey plus carb ingestion, and a new overtraining gauge... It's almost, February... almost and that's why today's SuppVersity article still qualifies as a January '17 research update. One that is based on the latest (ahead of print) papers from the peer-reviewed journal "Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise" - papers about the large impact of short bouts of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) on the messed up glucose management of people with an increased T2DM risk, the bone-preserving effects of a mix of whey and dextrose and how this effect depends on timing, the belated and thus overlooked beneficial effects of blood flow restriction on muscular rapid force development and, last but not least, a potential new marker of overreaching...

BPC-157, the Orally Available Peptide That Repairs Tendon, Muscle, Intestines, Teeth, Bone and More in Vitro & Vivo

Written by | published on

BPC is not patentable, and thus not interesting for BigPharma. In a way this article is a response to a question I got from Ryan on the Faebook Page of the SuppVersity a week ago. He asked, whether I had an article on Pentadecapeptide BPC-157, a substance of which he'd heard that it can accelerate tendon and muscle repair and work all sorts of other healing magic. Now, as a regular at the SuppVersity  you may know that I didn't have an article on this agent a week age. So I decided to write one. Not just because Ryan asked, but also because of the practical significance of the healing effects of this peptide from in vitro and in vivo studies (no medical advice here!). Unlike antioxidants with their anti- hormetic  effects, BPC-157 actually promotes healing Is Vitamin E Good for the Sedentary Slob, Only? Even Ice-Baths Impair the Adapt.

Oxytocin - The "Orgasm Hormone" with Multiple Health Benefits: Increased REE, Decreased Total and Visceral Body Fat, Reduced Appetite and Preserved Bone & Muscle Mass

Written by | published on

Oxytocin as fat loss adjuvant? We are not there, yet, but maybe in 5 years. Classically, oxytocin has been regarded as a polypeptide hormone, produced by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, that stimulates contraction of the smooth muscle of the uterus. In fact, oxytocin is yet far more, the mammalian neurohypophysial hormone that is produced in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus by nerve axons, and stored in the posterior pituitary gland, acts as an important neuromodulator in the brain and plays an important role in the neuroanatomy of intimacy, specifically in sexual reproduction of both sexes. Over the last decades scientists have begun to investigate oxytocin's role in various behaviors, including orgasm, social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety, and maternal behaviors, the direct effects of oxytocin on muscle, bone, adipose tissue and metabolism, on the other hand, have been discovered only recently. OT drops as you age. Learn how t...

So you're eating "healthy"? Sure? Time to clean my "may be worth an article" folder by putting out another installment of the SuppVersity  short news.

Image of the week: Golf-ball sized tumors from GMO corn and a >100% increase in mortality in female rodents are the results of the (at least in Europe) much debated study by Gilles-Eric Séralini et al. (Séralini. 2012) I must admit that I got somewhat bored with writing the same, or at least very similar introductions time and again. So I decided to start each and every installment of On Short Notice with either a picture or a figure that impressed, amused, enraged or, as in this case, shocked me, when I hit on it. The image you see on the right shows the rodents from the French GMO corn study that made the news earlier this week. Females, to be precise. With golf-ball sized mammary gland tumors. Nasty and the result of a life on a 22% GMO or 22% GMO + Round-Up diet ... yeah, you read me right: 22% was enough. In fact, "the rate of mortality [...] reach[ed] a threshold at the lowest (11%) or intermediate (22%) amounts of GM maize" (Séralini. 2012), already, and that ...
